I just received seeds in the mail so can't speak to germination, but their selection of herbs, edibles and ornamentals is really cool, and they don't skimp on number of seeds per packet.

Also, they sent a couple of bonus seed packets...on purpose, I hope!

This seed company has an interesting variety of heirloom and OP seeds. Primarily tomato and pepper seeds. In the selection of tomatoes, there is a variety of colors, shapes, sizes and suitable growing zones. They should have something to appeal to all tomato growers. Although they currently are backlogged, I found the order to be shipped in a timely manner.

They offer an interesting selection of seeds in generous packets. Germination was very good. Will order again.

I always buy my seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co. Over the years they have improved immensely and their seeds are fresh and sprout fast. I especially recommend the marigold seeds and the calendula. We grow and harvest these seeds and many others. I am growing now the kohlrabi purple in my farm Daddy containers and they are doing excellent. We also grow most of the nasturtiums they sell. These nasturtium seeds have done very well in partial shade in our garden and have reseeded having many more plants.

Recently received my first order from Victory Seeds; the seeds arrived promptly, and I was impressed by the great communication on the status of my order and tracking. Too early to plant yet, but the seeds look great.

Once the growing season starts in my garden I get so wrapped up in bulbs and hellebores and emerging ferns and swelling buds on potted peonies that I give scant attention to annuals and the contribution they can make to a garden. So a couple of years ago I ran across this book and decided to broaden my horizons.
I like this book because Mr. Winterrowd spent half of the book introducing
not-commonly-known or used plants... and then he spends half the book teaching the techniques needed to succeed with these plants. Not your usual "annuals for your garden" book... thank goodness.
He'll introduce you to Prickly Poppy [Argemone], the different species of Moonflowers [Datura], the strange beauty oof Sea Holly [Eryngium] and the "unending sequence" of blooms on Lavatera.
A wealth of good info is available in this slim volume.

I love this company and mainly use it for my seeds. I especially like them because they sell the dwarf project seeds. I started buying other items there. They are quick & notify me when my seeds have arrived. Pictured two of my dwarfs in straw bales.

I have purchased from Plant World Seeds for many years and have always been very happy with both the excellent germination of the seeds and the very prompt shipping of my orders. I also love their "Buy 2 get the 3rd Free" offer. :-)

I have been buying daylilies from Oakes for at least five years. They ship at the correct time of year for my gardens (zone 3 - unlike another supplier, whose order showed up in March with 4-ft of snow on the gardens) and always well-packed. The daylilies are the largest fans from anywhere, including competing daylily nurseries (whom I will not name or embarrass here) as well as direct purchases I have made in person at various display gardens.

And their bonus plants are always recognizable, registered daylilies ... not seedling rejects from a breeding program. I would definitely recommend Oakes: you get what you pay for, and then some.

Teresa and I traded some daylilies a few years ago. She is great to work with and the plants I received were very nice and healthy!
